Hemma Hemma Celebrates Pride With History in Every Sip

About this episode

Hemma Hemma cafe celebrates Pride with new drinks that honor queer history and support the community.

Kansas City’s Hemma Hemma cafe is pouring pride into every sip with two new drinks—the Womontown latte and Miss Frances cocktail—each donating a dollar to Our Spot KC. The latte honors Womontown, a historic lesbian safe space, with lavender foam symbolizing empowerment, while the cocktail pays tribute to Frances Thompson, a transgender woman born into slavery, with a blue-rimmed drink echoing the transgender flag. More than just treats, these beverages spotlight queer history and amplify community support, reflecting the cafe’s mission to uplift and educate through every pour.
